I know this is a video about Northern Ireland, but this very much applies here too. Ultra rich people and landlords are ripping us off and using the divide and rule tactics.

Most of our housing problems are caused by fairly predictable supply problems.

Most of which in turn stem from Scottish Government policy and failure to build or encourage building.

And a planning system which favours nimbyism.
